Project description:The first step in biomarkers discovery is to identify the best protocols for their purification and analysis. We have identified an optimal RNA extraction method of microRNAs from human plasma samples. We also report that the addition of low doses of carrier RNA before starting RNA extraction improves microRNA extraction and quantification. Human plasma and matched biopsies were obtained from healthy donors and patients attended at the Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe (Valencia, Spain). RNA was extracted by different preanalytal conditions and reagents, testing the suitable of carrier addition at differnt doses. The best protocol was followed up by hybridation on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:The combination of multi-omic techniques, e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and epigenomics has revolutionised studies in medical research. These are employed to support biomarker discovery, better understand molecular pathways and identify novel drug targets. Despite concerted efforts in integrating omic datasets, there is an absence for the integration of all four biomolecules in a single extraction protocol. Here, we demonstrate for the first time a novel, minimally destructive integrated protocol for the simultaneous extraction of artificially degraded DNA, proteins, lipids and metabolites from pig brain samples. We used an MTBE-based approach to separate lipids and metabolites, followed by subsequent isolation of DNA and proteins. We have validated this protocol against standalone extraction protocols and show comparable or higher yield of all four biomolecules. This integrated protocol is key towards facilitating preservation of irreplaceable samples while promoting downstream analyses and successful data integration by removing bias from univariate dataset noise and varied distribution characteristics.

Project description:Wood maturation produces two distinct wood tissues: juvenile wood (JW) and mature wood (LW), which are the major cause of wood qaulity variation within a tree. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during wood maturation process in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays. Developing xylem tissues from nine sampled trees at 5- and 13-year-old each were randomly divided into three groups with three trees each. Total RNA samples extracted from three trees within a group were pooled at equal amount before using for microarray experiments. Using this pooling strategy three biological replicates were formed for each microarray experiment. Dye swap was applied in each biological replicate. Comparisons between JW and MW in spring (EW) and autumn (LW) were arranged in two separate microarray experiments: juvenile earlywood (JE) vs. mature earlywood (ME), juvenile latewood (JL) vs. mature latewood (ML)

Project description:Wood density is a foundamental quality trait for structural timber, bioenergy and pulp industries. We investigated genes differentially transcribed in radiate pine juvneile trees with distinct wood density using cDNA microarrays. Radiata pine trees were selected from a progeny trial planted at Flynn, Australia. Based on the gravitical measurement of wood cores, 12 families with highest and lowest density each were selected, representing two groups of trees with contrasting wood density. One individual with higher or lower density were further sampled in each selected family. Developing xylem tissues of selected trees were sampled in autumn (April) when latewood (LW) was formed. The xylem tissues were scraped at breast height with a sharp chisel after the bark was removed. Wood cores of the sampled trees were further measured using SilviScan 2. Total RNA extracted from ten developing xylem tissues with confirmed distinct density in each tree group were pooled into two bulks (five trees each), and the two bulks of HD were compared with two LD bulks in the microarray experiment (named the bulk experiment). Six developing xylem tissues with the most distinct density from each tree group were further chosen. Six xylem tissues with HD were individually compared with bulked six xylem tissues with LD in the second microarray experiment (named individual experiment). These two different pooling strategies can partly minimize the genetic variation among different genotypes. Dye swaps were applied in each biological replicate.

Project description:Seasonal wood development results in two distinct wood types: earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW), which is the major cause of wood qaulity variation. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during seasonal wood development in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays. Three sampling trees each at juvenile (5 yrs), transition (9 yrs) and mature (14 yrs) ages (based on the wood rings at breast height) were selected from a plantation forest of radiata pine at Bondo, NSW , Australia (35º 16' 44.04 S, 148º 26' 54.66 E). The sampling trees at juvenile and mature ages were grown within 50 m distance and under similar environment. Two sampling trees at rotation age (30 yrs) were chosen at Yarralumla, ACT, Australia (35° 18' 27'' S, 149° 7' 27.9'' E).

Project description:The current study uses a transcriptomic approach to identify genes associated with differences in wood density, that are likely to be of value as candidate genes in Sitka breeding programmes for improved wood density. Following extensive wood density analysis from a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong) Carr.) field grown clonal trial, three detailed microarray studies were conducted to compare the transcriptome of cambial tissue from contrasting clonal lines with high and low wood density. Twenty five genes exhibited differential expression, reaching as high as 50 fold, in at least two of the three microarray experiments and this was verified using real-time PCR. Identified genes functioned in cell wall synthesis, transcriptional regulation and plant pathogen defence, amongst others. These results confirm the importance of previously-identified density-related genes, and highlight a number of novel genes with a putative role in wood quality. A wide range of processes influence wood density, but this study has allowed the identification of potential regulators in these pathways. Future studies may now use this information to understand the control of natural variation in wood density, and manipulate the expression of these genes to improve timber quality. The Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong) Carr.) âExperiment 35â clonal trial was grown at Newcastleton, Scotland (OS grid reference: NY506881, latitude: 55.1847, longitude: -2.77892) and set up by Forest Research, an agency of the Forestry Commission, which has been described previously (Mboyi and Lee 1999). A total of 750 trees were established from cuttings taken in 1989 of genotypes belonging to 6 unrelated full-sib families with 8 genotypes per family and 15 replicate ramets per genotype. Cambial cell scrapes were taken in summer 2004 when trees were 15 years old. A 5x2cm section of bark was cut away at a height of 1.3m from the ground for each tree selected for microarray analysis. The exposed xylem was immediately excised using a clean sharp razor blade and snap frozen in liquid Nitrogen. Samples were transported to the laboratory and ground in liquid nitrogen using a chilled mortar and pestle and stored at -80oC prior to RNA extraction. RNA was extracted and microarray hybridisation performed as described within.

Project description:Tree ring features are affected by environmental factors and therefore are the basis for dendrochronological studies to reconstruct past environmental conditions. Oak wood often provides the data for these studies because of the durability particularly of oak heartwood and, hence the availability of samples spanning long time periods of the distant past. Wood formation is regulated in part by epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation. Studies in the methylation state of DNA preserved in oak heartwood thus could identify epigenetic tree ring features informing on past environmental conditions. We investigated the feasibility of such studies using heartwood samples core-drilled from the trunks of standing oak trees spanning the AD 1776-2014. Heartwood contains little DNA, and large amounts of phenolic compounds known to hinder the preparation of high-throughput sequencing libraries. We sequenced whole-genome and DNA methylome libraries for oak heartwood up to 100 and 50 years of age, respectively. However, only 56 genomic regions with sufficient coverage for quantitative methylation analysis were identified, suggesting that the high-throughput sequencing of DNA will be in principal feasible for wood formed <100 years ago is impeded by the reduction in library complexity caused by the bisulfite treatment used to generate the oak methylome.
